How Adult Autism Goes Undetected
Season 2
Episode 1
The Vitals team explores the growing community of “neurodivergents,” including many people who were only diagnosed as adults. Many people live a life of “masking” their disorder, leading to misdiagnoses, especially in many underrepresented communities. We hear from a specialist who assesses adults, and Kip Chow, about their experience as an autistic adult diagnosed late in life.
